When eating a chicken dinner on a Sunday afternoon at home, my two brothers always got the legs so I ate one too. Only I ate the neck thinking it was a leg until my older brother asked me, "how many legs does a chicken have?" I then realized I wasn't eating a leg!

My friend Chris told me that because I ate the crust on my PB&J sandwiches - my hair is curly. This has to be myth... I looked it up and there have been studies that deny this belief. But I am skeptical.

When I was young my dad once told me that turkeys were baby elephants that would then make a cocoon and come out as a 'real' elephant. He also said that that because people ate so many turkeys the number of elephants was dwindling. after that my mother could never get me to eat any kind of poultry.

When i was little i allways got the kids chicken nugget meal. One day my babysitter took me and another little boy to McDonalds. I ordered my usual and he convinced me that the Sweet and Sour sauce was made from cow boogers...Yea i switched to burgers from then on. And now that i am an adult [ i of course understand its not made out of boogers ] but if i ever get sweet and sour sauce i always think of what that kid told me. And i kind of get disgusted..he has traumatized me for the rest of my life lol

My sister and I used to believe that our babysitter was a witch and she hid a baby in our cupboard. Then she did a horrible spell to make the little baby pee. The pee we thought was what she used as juice in our Ramen Noodle Soup.
Although we truely believed this, we loved that soup and begged for it every time she watched us!
I used to believe that my mom was a magical demon who wanted to poison me with orange juice that had smallpox. For years I hated orange juice and the first time i tried it, I had her drink it first, and, on sheer chance, I had food poisoning. The next time I tried O.J. was when I had a lot of homework due the next day and forgot my books. I was in big trouble. I later developed a craving for the stuff.
i used to believe that girls only liked candy that was colored pink or purple...and boys didn't like the flavor because it was girl colors...so they only ate candy that was blue, green, yellow or orange

My grandpa has a really big stomach, and when i was little he told me and my sister that if you swallowed watermelon seeds that one would grow in your tummy. Then he'd say that it's too big to be pooped out and it would stay in there for the rest of your life. After that, he used to pretend to swallow the seeds (but we believed him) and that's why we thought his stomach was so big.

when my friend was little, her father told her that a haggis was in fact a small animal that roamed the hills of Scotland, rather than a meal. She believed this for a very long time...

When I was younger, my older sis told me not to eat thore little black seeds in my watermelons. I did it and told her. She said, "Uh oh, now your skin is going to fall off, and your going to grow woatermelon gardens in your tummy." I believed her, and got really mad. To this day we laugh at it.
